"Since the Adventure mode will be replacing Survival" :angry.gif:
Really?! Even the Minecraft Forum doesn't get it?
THIS IS ADVENTURE UPDATE, NOT MODE.

How long does it take to release this update? It's been nearly two months, of "coming next week" (or the week after that, or the week after that, or the week after that....)
Quote from MONTE5000
Does anyone else see the additions to the health bar? There is a black bar beneath the 8 hearts and to the right of the hearts there is a line of 10 "somethings". I'm not sure what the black bar is for but I think the 10 "somethings" are hunger meter. If all 10 "somethings" are there then you are full but if there is 1 then you're starving. Perhaps if all of them go out you start slowly losing hearts and get weaker and move slower. Or perhaps you just die.

Leveling and xp? Noooooooo thank you Notch. I would rather just pick up a copy of Skyrim when it comes out for my purist RPG needs. Minecraft I play for pure sandbox qualities.
Permadeath. Again no thanks, but if its included I want the option to turn it off.
Quote from Borealys
I'd like to be able to have animal farms. Pigs, Chickens, Cows, Sheep, whatever. Keeping them in pens to use when needed for wool, pork, leather, feathers, and so on would be awesome instead of looking for more once you've cleaned an area out of them. It would be nice if penned animals would re-spawn if some were removed too, much like sugar cane and cactus do if some are taken. It would have to be with in reason though such as if you had X amount of Animal in an area X blocks in size, they would re-spawn to a maximum of X number of Animals.
Anyone else getting tired of just farming sugar cane, cactus, wheat, and mushrooms? :smile.gif: Well, I shouldn't say tired of it but looking for more.

Also nice would be more vanity items, like furniture and clothing.

You have absolutely no reason to think that. All Notch said about leveling was that mobs will get tougher the higher level you are, and it will be designed so that grinding isn't necessary. Anything more is just your wild paranoia.

The game is going exactly where Notch has always intended it to go, where he's always told us it was going. To use the fruit analogy from above, it's more like the seller telling you "I'll give you an apple every day until I get oranges in, then you can have oranges," and you go for it, and then when the oranges come in you complain that you preferred the apples.

So... you enjoy the game because you can do whatever you want, and because of that you're angry you're being given the option to do one more thing.
Yeah, that makes sense.

1) It's being released this winter, well after the PC/Mac release, so it's not as though they're rushing it out.
2) Concerning modding, Bethesda is trying to get mods on consoles and says the only problem is getting Microsoft and Sony to approve it. If they make any headway, it could lead to Microsoft supporting modding Minecraft.

For example, the idea of torches going out after a limited time was going to go hand-in-hand with the introduction of lanterns, which would do what torches currently do and provide permanent light. Lanterns would be harder to make, such as requiring metal and possibly glowstone. The idea was that torches are an easy-to-make but temporary light source and you would be challenged to find a better option.
Hunger is the same way. At the moment there are several ways to get food, and more farming options are being added soon, but there's no reason to do so. Unless you're constantly getting swarmed by enemies, you can get by with the occasional pig hunt and use cooked pork for incidental damage. What hunger does is reward you for fishing or building a farm in a way that wasn't present before.
As for silverfish, all we know right now is a vague impression of what they look like, but if they do eat wood the challenge will likely either be keeping them off it or spotting them and killing them. For all you know they could take a full day cycle to actually destroy a block and all you need to do it give your house a once-over every morning and stab any you see.
